The Minister of Women Affairs, Hajia Aisha Alhasan, has lamented on the state of neglect of her people in Taraba State, by the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, and President Muhammadu Buhari, in the scheme of things.
Alhasan, who led other members of the APC from the State on a visit to the leadership of the party at the National Secretariat on Thursday, in Abuja, told the leaders that apart from her appointment and Ambassadorial nomination which are statutory and constitutional, there is “no any other meaningful appointment from the State.”
According to her, the APC members from the State are very worried, “because firstly, if the government back home was that of the APC, I may not have been here in this capacity as a Minister.
“I have come as a party member and a leader, together with my brothers from the State to air out our problems.
“The government in the State is controlled by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and we expected that you our parents, and this government, especially since you knew that we were muscled out, we should have been helped, because we did our best.
“No opposition party performed as good as we did since 1999. But unfortunately, apart from my appointment which is statutory and constitutional, then that of the Ambassadorial, we still do not have any meaningful appointment.”
Post-Nigeria learnt that most of the APC leaders in Taraba State, are secretly planning to abandon the party for the ruling State PDP ahead of 2019, if something is not done by the Buhari-led administration.
